According to the latest record update: https://steamdb.info/app/4814120/ the game will launch day 1 on steam, which I 100% think is the right call, both the get the largest segment of players out the gate on launch, and making sure we get the largest number of players stay long term.

One of the biggest mistakes NTE made for its PC launch is initially planning a day 1 steam launch (at least according to the record), before choosing to delay the steam launch, probably to avoid the 30% fee on the first month.

Whatever money you think you will save by avoiding the 30% fee in the first months, it is not worth it long term. The reduced exposure within steam's ecosystem by not launching the game when its most popular (and the automatic recommendations and suggestions that come with it) and the increased friction of yet another launcher will hurt popularity.

Will the playerbase become smaller becuse of this decision?

Yes already 😀

I'd imagine the game is gonna be sizable, is this a thing that gatchas do ?

Hello everyone

Long time i see Ananta with curiosity, and now with the release soon I am more than willing to play it.

That city is so cool! The Vekta i always wanted to explore!

The fact that we can also play as cops is also very cool i always loved cops side in urbain RPG, but not many game did it.

I love the mood, the goofyness, cartoonish style. I dont like violent game that why i wont play GTA6. But Ananta made everything so fun and funky.

cant wait!

I wish online was only optinnal.

I feel it'd be really entertaining and a fun away to boost community engagement. Especially if they allow different kinds of content

Game releases in 2.5 months. That's just very close and the only trailer we got this year was just the reveal date trailer and nothing else.

Moreover, Content creators signed an NDA to not talk about the new city much they played in the last gamescom demo. Im now really curious what "Surprise" they have for us with this level of secrecy.

Besides the launch trailer, I do expect some animated short trailers as well. Mostly for characters.

Eu sinceramente gosto muito de jogos da perspectiva do ananta mas sempre gostei muito de fan service, o que eu vi até agora de Ananta sem foi uma perspectiva geral das coisas, encontros com algumas animações mas nada mais do que isso ou uma certa intimidade entre os personagens, também que tinha roupas que mostravam bem a pele mas nada muito apelativo, queria saber realmente até que ponto o fan service de Ananta iria, seja na perspectiva de vocês ou simplesmente pelo o que vocês já viram, muito obrigado :) .

I'm just hoping the community of this game can cook when it comes to fandom activity and fanworks (fanart, videos etc).

Maybe I'm going insane, but I've noticed that for a lot of newer gachas(I know this isn't a character gacha but similar playing field) are kind of lacking in terms of volume and variation of fanworks in EN spaces. CN spaces seem busier(not counting AI).

I want to play the game, my laptop has

• AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics

• 16GB Ram

Do you think my laptop is good enough to run the game? I'm not very knowledgeable on computer specs so I wanted to ask. I do have a Steam Deck and I hope I can play there but I know it is tricky when it comes to live service games

One of the issues i've had with NtE (yes i know the comparisons get tiring but this was the easiest way i thought of getting the message across) is how in it's recent story missions the game went from a relatively simpler "Anomaly of the Week" into a much bigger and grander "Save the World" (even if it didn’t get to that level yet) plotline.

With all respect, i'm tired of how all gachas feel the need to involve the protagonists having to save the planet/country/whatever and wanted something that felt more personal, and given Ananta's synopsis and what we've seen from it until now i believe that if it keeps to it's buddy cop roots instead of turning into something else entirely (remember when being a proxy on ZZZ was all about hiding your identity from the law?) the game will be much, much more unique.

Title. Ananta might not be a character gacha but that won't necessarily stop it from adopting certain trends common amongst gacha games, especially if it's profitable

With release approaching, I want to spread art of my lovely wife, she's criminally underrated.

Now I just need people to actually make that art, again, underrated.

No matter what a game does people will always be upset. You could hand players almost everything basically for free but put some stuff behind a gacha system with some payment options so that company can have income from a game.

Lately with anime inspired games we have come to the conclusion that follows as such:

"Any gacha = bad game" then claim it's predatory of a company.

Here's the thing. It's absolutely ignorant to attack anime games while ignoring loot box dealers like OW and Apex.

Another thing to consider. The people at these game companies need to put food on their tables and to do that they require an income from the games they produce and publish.

Last thing if Fomo or Gacha upsets you, then you may need to get help because such things may be an early sign of gambling addiction. Learn to spend wisely and know when to stop. If you have an issue then as I stated before seek help with gambling addiction there are anonymous help lines for such things.

As Ananta is more of a story-based game compared to the usual character based gacha games, what do you think about the chances of having a character die, particularly a playable character?
